During my internship at St. Anne Institute, I developed a service-learning project focused on teaching stress-management techniques to adolescent girls in residential care. Drawing from psychological research on emotional regulation and anxiety in adolescents, I created visual instructional materials and facilitated a guided workshop introducing evidence-based breathing techniques, including 4-7-8 breathing, box breathing, and diaphragmatic "belly" breathing. The project aimed to educate the residents on coping strategies that promote emotional regulation and help them develop independent stress management.


This was my first time presenting at the Steinmetz Symposium. I gave an oral presentation on my Seward Scholars Project: “A Critical Assessment of The Juvenile Justice System Through Psychological, Sociological, And Philosophical Lenses”.

On Prize Day a select group of Union students are celebrated for their achievements. I was honored to receive the Shaffer Library Research Award, awarded for the strongest research project/paper, and bibliography.
After my freshman year at Union College, I was given the opportunity to join the Scholars Program by becoming a Seward Scholar. This program allowed me to create my own minor and its organizing theme, with a project as the capstone. The minor that I created is titled "Understanding Deviance" which was made up of sociology, philosophy, psychology and anthropology classes. The paper below is my final project for this minor.
